Why isnt reality TV on strike?
Frankel said ina recent TikTok video.
Reality stars, she said, are the stepchildren, the losers, the mules, the pack horses.
Bethenny Frankel, SAG-AFTRAGetty
SAG-AFTRA is the union that represents reality performers.
At the outset, we require our third-party production partners to have appropriate workplace policies and training in place.
This is a union.
I know a contract.
Looking into traditional TV residuals is like looking inside a beautiful mind.
This is the REALITY RECKONING aka THE REALITY REVOLUTION.
The is the new BETHENNY CLAUSE.
Reality TV has existed for decades & sustained entertainment during the last strike & exploded.
This is for the next generation.
These are broad stroke terms subject to modification.
This fight is just getting started.
Were rogue & nimble & not entangled & unwieldy.
The intention here is to affect change, get things done and make history.
Ive listed some names who have contacted me & want to get involved.
They should fight for others who paved the way & for those after them.
Shows like Summer House and others in production should stand down.
Viewers should not watch this content.
Ive alienated this industry & burned bridges with the entire data pipe and streaming community in one fell swoop.
This is not for the faint of heart but its for the greater good.
